New Terrorism Laws

This is an unpublished letter to The Guardian on 13th July about Blair's announcement that new laws against terrorism are to be introduced after the London bombings of 7th July.

Dear Editor,

Tony Blair has announced that new laws will be introduced to fight terrorism in the wake of the London bombings. Is it too much to hope that the first of these will outlaw the invasion and occupation of other countries for political purposes, and ensure the speedy and efficient prosecution of those responsible for war crimes committed in any such invasion and occupation?

Yes, it is far too much to hope for.

Yours faithfully,

Grouchy.
